Students explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Students learn about and make tessellations.  In this geometry lesson plan, students watch a video about wallpaper tessellations and use a handout to learn about tessellations. Students make an irregular tessellation.

Students analyze tessellations.  In this geometry lesson, students discover which shapes can or cannot be used to create a tessellation.  Students watch a video, then create their own tessellations.

Students complete an Excel project on tessellations. For this technology and math lesson, students discuss tessellations and their occurrences in nature. Students use the Excel computer program to create tessellations.

Learners study the basic elements and concepts of the visual art's perceptual component - such as shape, line and color. They create tessellations that foster problem solving and reflective thinking.

Young scholars create tessellations with computer software while applying their knowledge of reflections, rotations, and translations.

Students create tessellations. In this math lesson, students explore symmetry and patterns through the creation of a tessellation. Students design and create their own tessellation.

Second graders Make, name and describe, using their own language and the language of geometry, everyday shapes and objects. They create and talk about geometric patterns which repeat (show translation), or which have rotational or...

Elementary schoolers are arranged in pairs and view the video Math Works: Measurement: The Difference Between Perimeter and Area. They discuss any prior knowledge they have of the term perimeter and then brainstorm together what the...

Texture can really add to a work of art. Explore texture through observation and practice. Learners view and discuss works of art by M.C. Escher. They then create their own texture samplers with six different materials.

Students choose various shapes and colors to create a Valentine's 'person'.  In this Valentine's Day lesson, students design collages, make prints and mosaic pictures.  More advanced students create a Tessellation using...

Second graders make, name, and describe, using their own language and the language of geometry, everyday shapes and objects. They create and discuss geometric patterns which repeat (show translation), or which have rotational or...

Pupils design printing blocks with patterns cut with scissors and/or Speedball Linozip Cutters. They print colorful repeating, alternating or tessellating pattern designs of difficulty appropriate for their age level.

Students explore how bees make honey and why the hexagon is the best basic pattern for the honeycomb through the use of a video and hands-on activities with honeycombs and geometric shapes.

Second graders, through large screen monitor, study geometric design. They participate in a diagnostic assessment in which they use pnecils, scissors and paste.

Second graders and teachers identify geometric vocabulary word by searching a geometry website. They create a Quilt Word Wall using the geometry words.

Learners listen to a read aloud of The Quiltmaker's Gift by Jeff Brumbeau finding examples of symmetry in the illustrations in the book.

Students utilize higher thinking skills to expand their self concept to include physical, cognitive, and affective frontiers. The teacher create activities which allow students to use raw data and primary sources, as well as...

Learners use non-standard measurement tools such as body parts, beans and counters to find the area of shapes drawn on the floor. They continue to determine the area of other objects in the classroom.

Second graders practice new geometry vocabulary by putting the words to the tune of "Hokey Pokey." students use the lyrics as a guided reading experience.

Students recognize that quilts are created by geometric components. They examine how quilts are an artistic art form that show the cultural heritage of the people who make them.

Pupils investigate the culturally artistic value of quilts, the importance of trade in meeting basic needs, and the conservation of natural resources.

Students review definitions of word wall words using songs, movement and sharing.

Students listen to the teacher read a book and participate with guided questions. They discuss patterns and how they repeat, by looking at quilts. They design their own quilt block to create a class quilt.
